I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

So Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue told An Muxi what happened that day.

That day, An Muxi was knocked unconscious and thrown into the prop room of the theater. They also brought an actor in and fed her aphrodisiac.

When An Muxi heard this, she recalled some scenes. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking and her fists were clenched until they turned white.

This damn Bai Yueli, it seems that I was too kind last time. I only made her itchy and had a little rash on her body, and it was the kind that was easily treatable.

But she wanted to destroy her own innocence and bring disgrace upon herself.

In this era, if a woman's reputation was ruined, the outcome would be either to become a nun or to commit suicide. In any case, there would be no good ending.

This woman is really vicious. It seems that I have to find a chance to give her some excitement next time.

Qiu Shuang saw that An Muxi looked unhappy, and continued, "But I heard that Bai Yueli fell into Hancheng Lake last night and was rescued by a street thug."

An Muxi was stunned. What was going on? Was this retribution for doing too many bad things?

It was a bit strange that she went to the lake at night, and she even fell into the water and was rescued by gangsters. I always felt that this was weird. But I also felt relieved.

She hadn't even taken any action yet, but she had already tasted the pain of having her reputation ruined. An Muxi suddenly felt a little gloating.

I don't know which Lei Feng is doing good deeds without leaving a name. Next time I go to a temple to pray for blessings, I will definitely burn incense for him.

Qiu Shuang saw that her master was really confused. Couldn't she guess this? Who else in the world would offend the people of Ningguo Mansion for the sake of the master?

But thinking that the prince forbade them to tell An Muxi, they had no choice but to keep silent about the fact that it was the prince who had ordered this.

An Muxi suddenly thought of the man who was locked in the house with her that day and asked, "How did you deal with that actor?"

Qiu Shuang said, "We notified the owner of the theater when we left. I think they should find a way to save him."

An Muxi felt a little regretful that she didn't deal with Bai Yueli personally, but when she thought that she must be feeling worse than herself, she felt a little better.

Didn't she want to be the Crown Princess? I wonder if the royal family will accept a Crown Princess whose reputation has been damaged.

-

The Ningguo Mansion was in chaos at this time. In the main hall, Ningguo was looking at his son with a serious expression.

"Chen'er, what happened last night? How did your sister get rescued by that street thug in Seoul Lake?"

Bai Jingchen felt bitter in his heart, he didn't understand why things turned out like this.

Yesterday at the theater, my sister actually had someone drug that woman in an attempt to destroy her innocence. By the time she dragged herself to watch the fun, the woman had already been rescued.

At first he thought his sister just wanted the maid to teach the woman a lesson to vent her anger.

When he was dragged over to watch the excitement, he saw that several guards he brought with him to the back of the theater were seriously injured.

It was not until an actor was carried out that he realized that his sister actually wanted the actor to destroy someone else's innocence. Fortunately, the person was rescued.

He always thought that his sister was just a little spoiled, but he didn't expect that she would do such a vicious thing. He scolded her at the time.

His sister still looked unconvinced, so he angrily sent her back to the Ningguo Mansion.

He asked his guards, and one of the leaders said that the person who saved the man was a woman who looked a bit like Princess Rui. He was shocked.

Although the Duke's Mansion was already considered the most powerful family in Tiansheng Country, it was still incomparable to the Prince's Mansion. After all, the emperor was supreme and there was a difference between the monarch and his subjects. They were just servants of a higher level.

Just when he made up his mind to discipline his sister, his sister was thrown into Seoul Lake at night, and many people saw her being rescued by a street thug.

When someone notified the Duke's Mansion, he rushed over and saw his sister unconscious in the arms of that street thug.

He was so angry that he wanted to kill the gangster on the spot.

Bai Jingchen just said sullenly and a little annoyed: "I don't know what happened. When someone came to inform us last night that our sister fell into the water and was rescued, I rushed over. But I saw my sister being held in that person's arms."

This made the whole family of Ningguo Mansion feel incredible. Bai Yueli had clearly been at home all night and had not gone out. How could she go to Hancheng Lake?

Duke Ning slammed the table and said, "Asshole! How dare that man be so presumptuous as to flirt with my daughter!"

After all, Duke Ning was a high-ranking official who had spent half his life in the government. He asked in a cold voice, "Has your sister offended anyone recently?"

Normally, Duke Ningguo and his wife were worried about their daughter going out alone, so they always asked Bai Jingchen to follow her. Therefore, Bai Jingchen knew most of Bai Yueli's affairs.

Bai Jingchen hesitated for a moment, but finally told his sister about her attempted murder in the theater yesterday.

Duke Ningguo had a gloomy face and sighed, "We usually indulge her too much. Now she is becoming more and more lawless. She doesn't know that there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this imperial capital. There are some people that even our Bai family dare not provoke."

"Just treat this as a lesson for her. Keep her at home for the time being. I'll find a way to deal with this matter. And you should persuade your sister to stop making trouble!"

Their family all knew that the prince intended to marry Bai Yueli as his princess. Now that this incident had happened and Bai Yueli's reputation had been ruined, it was unknown if there would be any changes.

Bai Jingchen just nodded in agreement, feeling upset. He didn't know when his sister became like this.

In the backyard of the Ningguo Mansion, Bai Yueli woke up today and realized that she was rescued by a street thug when she fell into the water last night. She collapsed immediately.

She cried and screamed all morning, and it took the Duke's wife and Nanny Gui a long time to calm her down.

She leaned in the arms of Lady Ningguo, sobbing softly, "Mother, how could this happen? If the Crown Prince finds out, how can I marry him and become his consort? I don't want to live anymore, wuwu."

Lady Ningguo was so distressed that she cried for a long time along with him, and even Nanny Gui had red eyes.

"Don't worry, my dear daughter. Your father will help you deal with this matter. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not know about it. You will definitely marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion smoothly."

At this time, a servant outside reported that the Duke wanted to ask his wife to come over. Wu said a few more words of comfort before leaving.

Bai Yueli stopped crying. She was also wondering how she was suddenly rescued from the lake when she was clearly preparing to rest last night? She didn't even know how she got out of the house.

I couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Her family was a duke's mansion, who was so powerful that he could take her away and throw her into Hancheng Lake without saying anything?

Her reputation cannot be damaged, and the position of Crown Princess must be hers.

Thinking back to the fact that his revenge plan at the theater had failed and that woman had been rescued by someone, he felt even more angry!

It seems like nothing good has happened to me since I met this woman. What a jinx!

Soon, Nanny Gui came in, looked at Bai Yueli distressedly and said, "Miss, the Duke just said that you should be confined to your home for a month."

Bai Yueli was shocked. Her father had never confined her to her home for so long before. In the past, he would only confine her to her home for three days at most if she got into trouble. This time, it seemed that her father was really angry.

She couldn't help but tear up again. She was also framed, so why was she still grounded? It was all because of that damned jinx woman! How unlucky!
